Netscreen 5gt and two ISP's 1

[masterchen]

Newbie here,
Hey does anyone know if it is possible to hook up cable modem and dsl to the ns5gt box and feed the same ip network? If so could some one lead me into the right direction. Thanx to all in advance.

Hello,

Yes, is it possible. You would change the port mode and either configure ECMP (Equal Cost Multi Path) Routing or utilize one ISP for failover with IP Tracking. I prefer the ECMP approach, but some sites may not work. Especially financial sites that detect different source IP's from the same session. When this occurs, you can configure a /32 bit route in your VR to those sites. Hope this helps.


Rgds,

John

OK Packet Seven, This site does work Thank you for a starting point. but I am a newbie to ns5gt if it would not be too much trouble could I have some more explicit instructions on how to configure two isp's to draw at the same time NOT fail over (ie. cable modem and DSL). All help is greatly appriciated. Thanx in advance. And Thanx to everyone who run this very helpful website. Kuddos
